Description
8" shoulders. 19" waist. 32" overall length. Of a beautifully woven jaconet with defined checkerboard and dot pattern,the slightly-high-waisted gown features a V-shaped confection of ruffled lace and muslin on the bodice that is repeated in a larger scale on the cartridge-pleated long skirt. The widely poufed sleeves gain their shape from a fitted under-sleeve and are lace-edged. A child's costume intended for a gala,the gown is easily adaptable to a large bebe,its low neckline especially pleasing on a model with bisque shoulder plate,such as Bebe Bru. Circa 1875.
